In which the former Land of Hope and Glory is reduced to a multitude of cringing toadies...

#21  No more Salvation Army ringers at Target

We have Salvation Army bell ringers at the Kroger grocery stores in Cincinnati, Icerigger. More people buy food than Target stuff, anyway.

#20  All it takes for those who cherish the most magical and beautiful holiday of the year too stand up for it is say, "No fear here, Let's Roll!"

It is time to counter these weenies.

#19  I wonder if those guys that blew up the subway trains last year thought about cancelling for 'fear of offending other faiths'?
Oh, that's right. I guess not...

#17  Careful, Eohippus--the fatwa folk don't like music. But since there wasn't really any music in the story, you only get a dozen lashes.
Seriously, the new overlords undoubtedly have as low an opinion of the UK school commissions as we do, but with somewhat more dramatic methods of changing administrators.

#16  Send your kids to Christian or Catholic schools to avoid all this PC crap especially at Christmas and Easter. That's what I do and we do not have these situations. In fact, we have the opposite. Its like eating a pulled-pork sandwich in a mosque - mmmmm good!

#15  "We don't feel the need to have the nativity. We are an ethnically diverse school and want to learn about other cultures."
This is the "affirmative action" program of multiculturalism. It's not even "everybody's cultural is equal" -- it's "everybody's culture is more important our own". It's cultural suicide.

#14  I think the real problem here is not muslims or people of any other faith but the godless bureaucrats who are in charge of the schools. Britons, and Americans as well, need to remember these types of things during elections.

#13  It was the best of times, it's becoming the worst of times.

#12  I think Britain's ready for the "traditional" reconquista festival with all the fine trimmins.

#11  We have the same thing in the USA. It is more subversive. No more Salvation Army ringers at Target, Christmas break is called something else, "happy holidays" instead of "merry Christmas and so on. The liberals and Islamics are bent on destroy all western culture.

Yet we sit here at take it up the rectum. The next time someone says that to you ask them what the hell do they mean. It is fricking time we stand up to the anti-American anti-Christian traitors and say that WE are Offended!!

#9  Said it before, will say it again: my English Springer Spaniel is so embarrassed she now claims to be Irish.

#6  Excalibur speaks the truth.

If your own beliefs are so weak that you BOW to the beliefs of your enemies ( because they ARE our enemies) out of fear and cowardice...what do you believe in? You are spineless and a quivering squirting soul.

Spit you out. Snot on the sidewalk.

#5  We hate all traitors to freedom and hope, Excalibur. Their time is coming.

#4  The enemy must be defeated but ultimately I pity most of them; they have been lied to.

I hate our traitors.

#3  Will this please our Muslim overlords, or should we change the Dickens classic to "A Ramadan Carol" as well?

#2  It shouldn't surprise me... but in a way, it does. I cannot fathom the mental state and moral bearings of squirming invertebrate dhimmis.

#1  So will they cancel Hajji?
